Lard of the Dance
"Lard of the Dance" is the first episode of The Simpsons' tenth season, that originally aired on the Fox Network on August 23, 1998.[2] Homer discovers he can make money by stealing and reselling grease, but eventually stops after negative encounters with Groundskeeper Willie and the Springfield Grease Company. Meanwhile, Lisa becomes jealous that a new student (voiced by Friends star Lisa Kudrow) is distracting all her friends by using her fashionable personality. The episode was written by Jane O'Brien and directed by Dominic Polcino.[1]
After going back-to-school shopping, Homer learns from Apu that he can sell grease to make a profit. At breakfast, Homer begins frying up various amounts of bacon to use the grease to make money and decides to have Bart help him with his "grease business" which forces Bart to quit school. Meanwhile, on the first day back at school, Lisa volunteers to help Alex Whitney, a fashion conscious new student, by showing her around the school. To help her make new friends, Lisa takes Alex, Sherri, Terri, Allison Taylor and Janey for lunch in the cafeteria after the two groups group meet up, but shortly after abandon Lisa after seeing that Alex has adult items like a cell phone, a purse and perfume.
Homer and Bart begin their grease business and make sixty-three cents worth of grease from twenty-seven dollars' worth of bacon, much to Homer's glee and Bart's disappointment. After Bart points out that they need larger amounts of grease, the pair drive to Krusty Burger, where they attempt steal grease from the fryers. After loading it into Marge's car, two employees of The Acne Grease and Shovel Company steal it, claiming they control the grease business in the city.
Alex convinces Principal Skinner to have a school-dance rather than the regular yearly event of apple picking. Skinner agrees, so Alex and Lisa, accompanied by Sherri, Terri, Janey and Allison visit the mall to purchase party supplies, but the girls detour and begin trying on outfits for the dance, despite Lisa's protests. The group leave the mall, none speaking to each other. Lisa decides not to attend the dance, but changes her mind and goes to the school to take tickets at the door, but later arrives and discovers the boys and girls are standing on different sides of the room, and explains to Alex that it is like this because they are only children, not adults.
Homer and Bart arrive at the school during the school-dance to steal the grease in the school's kitchen which Bart told him about. They sneak into the kitchen and plants a hose in the fryer to suck it in to the car, but Willie spots them and attempts to stop them, claiming the grease to be his retirement plan. Homer tries to escape, but Willie grabs his legs and strangles him with the hose sucking the grease, which explodes due to the increased pressure, causing the grease to flood into the dance hall. A grease fight begins among the students, where Alex eventually joins in after being told by Lisa to act her own age.
The origins of the episode come from a conversation between Jane O'Brien and Mike Scully, when the two were talking about how girls always want to grow up so fast, as Scully has five daughters; so they decided to produce an episode with a storyline based on this.[3] The idea behind the episode plot came from Jace Richdale, who came up with the idea of Homer stealing grease and the grease business, having read about in a magazine.[4] Several aspects of the characters used throughout the episode had been improvised significantly by Lisa Kudrow.[3] Ron Hauge, a writer for The Simpsons, came up with the initial character of Alex,[4] and Jane O'Brien named the character after her best friend.[5] The scene showing Homer's hemorrhaged eye as Groundskeeper Willie strangles him got a big laugh in the studio.[3] Mike Scully comments that he now uses it in college clip shows.[3]
Cultural references[edit]
The title of the episode is a play on the hymn and later Irish musical Lord of the Dance.[1] Marge sings her own, altered version of 1990 song "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" when attempting to persuade Lisa to attend the dance.[1] Much of the shop where the girls enter to buy clothes is based on Wet Seal.[3] In the same mall is a party supply store, called Donner's Party Supplies which has a window sign saying "Winter Madness Sale", a reference to the Donner Party.[6] Alex tells Lisa to not be "such a Phoebe", a reference to Lisa Kudrow's character Phoebe Buffay on the series Friends.[1]
"Lard of the Dance" finished 31st in the weekly ratings for the week of August 17–23, 1998 with a Nielsen rating of 7.2. It was the third highest rated show from the Fox Network that week.[7] The episode aired during the summer so that it could serve as a lead-in for the early premieres of That '70s Show and Holding the Baby.[8] While That '70s Show would receive higher Nielsen ratings than The Simpsons, Holding the Baby was a ratings flop.[9]
In a 2008 article, Entertainment Weekly named Lisa Kudrow's role as Alex as one of the sixteen great guest appearances on The Simpsons.[10] The authors of the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood commented that "The idea of Lisa being unpopular in the light of a new girl in the school hallways is not new (see "Lisa's Rival") but it is done here with such class,"[1] concluding of Homer's treatment that "this is an episode which shows that even he can find interesting ways to do things."[1] Wesley Mead noted, in a review of the tenth season that the episode "might deal with familiar territory ("Lisa's Rival", anyone?), but it doesn't feel like a retread, and is also home to a superbly realised subplot that sees Homer and Bart go into the grease business."[11]
In 2012, The New York Times highlighted this episode in an article about grease theft from restaurants: "An episode of The Simpsons from 1998 has Homer Simpson trying to make a quick buck selling grease, but for years, law enforcement authorities seemed unaware that fryer oil was being stolen by unlicensed haulers, causing millions of dollars' worth of losses each year for the rendering industry that collects and processes the grease."[12]

Government hopeful that every household will have someone on benefits by 2015
The government has announced plans for every single household to have at least one family member on benefits by 2015. A pilot scheme has been running in parts of the country since the mid 1980s and is expected to be rolled out over the whole country with completion expected by 2015.
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan-Smith announced the new countrywide initiative, saying 'the scheme has been highly successful up North and the take up has been phenomenal'.
However, success up North has been countered by anger down South, where many feel they are missing out, and the Government agrees that there is an imbalance across the country. 'People in the South see people with not only one family member on benefits but, in many cases, two. You can understand the resentment that's built up over the last 30 years – it's just unfortunate that there weren't any mines in Surrey that could be closed down,' said Duncan-Smith.

The Lucas Neill-supported academy, Mr Soccer, has entered a partnership with a development program in Asia.
Launched in Marrickville, New South Wales last Friday, the project started by former Socceroo Mark Robertson and backed by current skipper Neill, has linked up with the Asian Football Development Project and will be 'based on promoting the fun, friendly exercise and skills side of football.'
"Since Mr Soccer was established in 2008, we've enjoyed delivering quality coaching to boys and girls of all ages, abilities, backgrounds and beliefs," Robertson said.
"I'm very proud and excited to be aligning with the AFDP, which is a project that I'm passionate about as we both share a commitment to not only giving children a chance, but also a positive and enjoyable experience via unique football programs."
Neill added: "We hope this partnership will be the vehicle that allows our football programs to make an even bigger impact on the youth across Australia and Asia."

Cold War Files: All Units: Events: The "Nixon Doctrine is made public
The "Nixon Doctrine" is made public. It advocates U.S. military and economic assistance to nations around the world struggling against Communism, but no more Vietnam-style ground wars involving American troops. The emphasis is thus placed on local military self-sufficiency, backed by U.S. air power and technical assistance to assure security.

Dr. Pintak on "Here and Now": Pakistan Named The Most Dangerous Country For Journalists
Dr. Lawrence Pintak, Founding Dean of The Edward R. Murrow College of Communication, is an expert on media and journalism in the Middle East. He was on today's edition of WBUR's Here and Now discussing the current state of journalism in Pakistan, where reporters are frequently targets for violence. As Dr. Pintak points out, the danger still doesn't deter many journalists from their mission to independently report on the state of their country, and pass those journalism values on to Pakistani students.

Publishers Weekly, 2002-11-11Combining their talents, this brother-sister team has created a compassionate account of life with their autistic brother, David, interspersing prose chapters with comics chapters to offer an unusual memoir. Judy was once an editor at Henry Holt, while Paul draws cartoons for the New Yorker. Their collective work in this book spans five decades, beginning with David's birth in 1948 and ending in the present (he now lives in a community for people with autism). Roughly chronological, Paul's comics and Judy's prose are carefully intertwined so that the writing and the art amplify each other. Judy describes her family as "a cup of human fruit cocktail dumped onto the top of the house, each piece different but all out of the same can." She recalls a road trip she and David took together: "David himself was a part of the country I needed to see." The visual concepts in Paul's comics reflect his close association with Art Spiegelman, as Maus-like devices and images erupt inside imaginative pages. Together, brother and sister have succeeded in making an innovative, intimate and poetic probe into the inner world of the autistic mind that many readers will find quite moving. Agent, Gail Hochman. (Jan.) Forecast: Promoted with an author tour, this unique book could attract attention from diverse groups, including comics readers and the autistic support community. Paul is a well-known graphic novelist, renowned for his adaptation of Paul Auster's City of Glass, and Judy's book publishing connections have attracted blurbs from Louise Erdrich and other literary luminaries.

Hello, im the 26 year old wife of a wildland firefighter/Volunteer Firefighter. I was recently asked to help with the asking of donations and the grant writing of for my Husbands Volunteer Dept.
The volunteer Dept will be puting me through Grant school in August but in the mean time I have been out in the community asking for donations of Water, sports drinks and other things that the Dept is in need of.
I have had little luck getting much of anything. Most stores and companies are cutting back on donations and some of the Large Corporations are only open to international requests....
My question is, if any of you have any suggestions/tips as to how to get more out of my community businesses. I have recieved some support but not what I was hoping for.

(1) Sun Dec 27 2009 13:32 Today's Pictures: Special "Not A Special Edition" edition:
Today's theme is New York walks. From 2009 (in fact, from Friday), I take Sumana to Corona Park, former garbage dump, site of two World's Fairs, now the world's most desolate park. Well, I always seem to go in the winter on major holidays, but it suffers from serious institutional neglect as well. For instance, the city built a fancy new theater building next to the iconic Pavilion and Towers, but they forgot to fix the Pavilion and Towers themselves! They're unsafe and fenced off. I guess you can't tear them down and it's too expensive to rebuild them, so they just stay there, rusting. It's a great park precisely because of its clear history of decline, but I wouldn't complain if the city decided to restore it to its World's Fair glory.
In a busier part of New York, it's a photo record of Sumana and her sister walking down Broadway the entire length of Manhattan, back in 2008. Caution: includes Charles in Charge novelization.

I remember going there in November 2008 with you. It seemed that, due to decent weather and no snow, quite a few soccer games were taking place. But overall an empty park.Also, I wonder if the park sees better days during the US Open, or during Mets games.

advice from people with experience towing 30' boat
I may not be able to store my sailboat ( 30' LOA, 10' beam, 4'9" draft 8600lbs Disp) at the yard this winter, as room is tight, and based on senority.
I have a couple of choice:
1. Buy a well used (cheaper) tandem flatbed trailer and mount my existing cradle on it for a short tow (approx 10km) to a friends vacant lot for the winter. Still need to tarp boat, etc.
2. Buy a better, road worthy tandem flatbed (with new tires, bearings, electric brakes, etc), mount / weld existing cradle (and put in a couple of extra supports from the trailer to hull) and tow the boat about 3 - 4 hours on excellent divided highway, and then 1 hour on a hilly, twisty country road, to get to free indoor storage at a friend's large garage with a woodstove - I will be living only an hour away, so I could work on the boat this fall / winter.
My main concern around towing the longer distance is that the boat / cradle on a flatbed trailer would mean that the weight is probably a foot higher, than if a custom trailer was made with drop axles, etc.
I am looking to hear from anyone who has experience towing larger boats (30'range) on a cradle.. . Was the towing noticable tippy, bad, etc.
I have towed a 23' keelboat, weighing 2800 lbs, with a similar arrangement, and it towed fine.
I would probabvly use a 3/4 ton Chevy 2500 HD (tow capacity 10,600lbs)
I would consider paying a professional boat hauler, but I am not aware of any within a 4 hour drive, that can set a boat on stands from their trailer - I believe all the local ones require cranes, which can't get the boat inside a garage.

Bestbuy Alert
7 years
I would like to find out why when I downloaded bestbuy alert it does not alert me when I arrive at bestbuy. I downloaded an icon for bestbuy and that worked fine. Can someone help me out with this one? Thanks.
8 years
Did you set an alert when you loaded the POI file? Regular POIs do not inherently have alerts. You must intentionally set one. This can be done in a variety of ways. Since you are really looking for a proximity alert, you need to run POI Loader in Manual Mode and then set the distance at which you want to be alerted. Also, be sure that alerts are enabled on your unit. |

Yes I did. How much of a distance should I put it to alert me? |

Well, that kind of depends upon how far in advance you want to be alerted. The maximum is reported to be 37 miles. However, I would think that somewhere between 1 and 2 miles would be appropriate. |

Alerts for BestBuy
Another way you can trigger alerts is to name the POI file with one of the following words that have a special meaning: RedLight, GATSO, mobile, SPECS, safety, or camera, so you could call your file BestBuy_mobile.csv, and this is supposed to alert you. I've tried it using "safety" and seems to work fine. Cheers, |

Two recent events—the spectacle of Garry Trudeau, the Doonesbury creator, attacking a group of murdered cartoonists for offending his sensibilities, and the protest organized by a group of bien-pensant writers against the PEN American Center for planning to honor those cartoonists tonight in New York—have brought the Charlie Hebdo controversy back to public consciousness. So has the failed attack Sunday in Texas on a group of anti-Islam militants staging a Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest, though, unlike Charlie Hebdo, the organization that sponsored the Texas event is run by an actual anti-Muslim extremist who, I'm proud to say, is a personal nemesis of mine.
Much has already been written about both the Trudeau and PEN controversies. I particularly recommend David Frum on Trudeau, and Katha Pollitt and Matt Welch on PEN, as well as this fine op-ed by Andrew Solomon and Suzanne Nossel, the president and executive director, respectively, of the PEN American Center. These represent only a handful of the many dozens of writers who have risen in defense of free speech, and of Charlie Hebdo's right to lampoon religion.

We were greeted at the front desk by Harold. Although his badge stated a passion for "The Nineties"; he took the time to share his hidden passion—playing the violin. He and my 10 year old son took turns filling the lobby with beautiful music. Thanks Dolphin Hotel for sharing our family's passion, and for making our stay special! Kudos to Harold, keep playing on…

Rated 4 out of 5 by Debi35 Picabu Returant staff
We have dined in numerous restaurants across the county and we have never meet such a personable staff member as Somia Fahmi in the Picabo. We stay at your hotel 3-4 times a year and she remembers us by name, always has a smile and always provides the best customer service. I have worked in HR for over 30 years and I would take her and train her to be a recruiter and trainer - she would be awesome. You have a gem here that could make a broader impact across the hotel. Thanks Somia for always making our trip so warm and wonderful!

Rated 1 out of 5 by seriously62 This hotel could've been nice and I'm sure for many it was, but for us it was a total letdown
From our arrival we couldn't have been more disappointed. We couldn't get into our room until after 4:30 and only then after we had complained. It was clear that the manager told the cleaning crew to finally let us in and do a quick job, as the room wasn't even vacuumed and it smelled very musty/smoky. Other guests were arriving and getting their rooms, we had to wait and wait. The second day the maids left no shampoo, and though the cleaning improved, it still wasn't up to what we had experienced in SPG properties before. Very disappointing, from start to finish, including the hidden fees at the end. I would never stay at this property again, nor would I recommend it. It is a "Disney" property, sort of. It is in the sense that you get transportation to the parks, it isn't if you want to go golfing, or otherwise get Disney transportation. It advertises as Disney, it isn't. Hugely disappointing. Management seemed unconcerned, unresponsive, unsympathetic, unacceptable!

Rated 4 out of 5 by IslandGirl758 Comfortable Stay
My stay at the Walt Disney Dolphin was good. Staff were pleasant and professional; room was clean and comfortable (seemed a bit in need of an update); lobby and guest areas met my expectations. I was pleasantly surprised that the hotel had a self-serve guest laundry which was very useful. The internet connection was ok (it dropped quite a few times during my stay). I would stay at the WD Dolphin again.

Rated 2 out of 5 by WO80 Non-responsive and non-accountable staff
We booked here due to location (proximity to Epcot and Hollywood Studios), and that is one of the only things this hotel has going for it besides a nice pool area set up for the kids. Since you advertise that you are part of Magic Hours and the Disney transit then your staff needs to be in sync with Disney on this in full. We had multiple issues here on multiple days- not due to Disney transit, but rather due to Dolphin staff not being up-to-date each day with the transit schedule and status for that given day. Each day, they provided a generic response that ended up being completely wrong. Just one example- the concierge said there is a Typhoom Lagoon bus specifically going there. We waited an hour for it with little kids and no bus. Finally we asked the Blizzard Beach bus driver of they could give status and she said no buses were going to Typhoon Lagoon that day. We had to take 2 cabs to get there instead and it cost $35. Another example- we waited over an hour and a half for a bus to get to the 7am Magic Hour... By the time we got to the park it was 8:30 and we completely missed it. The Dolphin hotel staff just kept saying the bus was coming, giving generic time answers, rather than taking the time to call to find out what was going on so we could seek an alternate method. When you are traveling with little kids whose main interest is only the parks, this makes these situations even more difficult. But what really was the most aggravating in all of this is that The Dolphin staff is unresponsive to issues and tries to pass them off on Disney. There is no ownership or accountability here. Every contact we had to try to address this with Dolphin staff while we were there was brushed aside. The couple times we did get a response it was generic on Twitter and the hotel blamed it on the Disney transit system, rather than truly listening that the heart of the problem is with lack of knowledge and communication between the Dolphin hotel staff and its guests about the transit system they advertise being a part of. It's better to say "I don't know" and give an honest answer than to guess and not verify. When we were given a phone number by guest services to speak with a manager at the hotel while on site it went to a generic voicemail box and we never received a call back. What the other review sites mentioned about the caveat for staying here is true - this is a far cry from other experiences. I do see on your site that someone comments back to reviews on this site - it's sad that this is the only means of communication with guests about issues (post-fact and to try to manage your social reputation) rather than directly addressing them and trying to find a solution for guests when they are actually staying with you during their experience. Poor show overall and left a bad taste- if someone actually responded and tried to take the time to address and improve our recurring issues while we were there the outcome would have been much different. We won't recommend.

After a long, hard-fought rebuilding season, the Cheney boys' tennis team moved up in the GNL standings with a final record of 7-7.
In its final week of regular season play, the team lost to Pullman 7-0, facing tough competition throughout the day. Head coach Jesse Erickson said the doubles team of Shogo Starr and Adam Passey was close to winning two of their three sets, the third of which came down to the wire at 6-4, ended in a loss. Starr and Passey rebounded from a 6-1 first set loss to win the second 6-3.
While Pullman proved to be a tough day, the Blac...

I've voted for Other - as I'm pretty sure I could live without any feature on my phone, indeed I'm reasonably sure I could live quite well without my phone.
On a side point, yesterday I borrowed a colleagues ancient company Nokia to make a call where I needed to withhold the number as we can't do it from our desk phones. It felt really weird holding an old style slim non-smart phone. Like swapping from driving a truck to a car - everything was so much smaller, and easier to use.

Gloria Ferrer Brut Royal Cuvee 2002
Vintage Sparkling Wine from Carneros, California
Winemaker's Notes
A complex interplay of subtly nuanced berry and cherry aromas marries with mature yeast characters and a trace of graphite in the nose of this well-developed yet remarkably fresh sparkling wine. The wine holds in exquisite balance full, round, abundant flavors of citrus, ripe apple, spice and toast with vibrant acidity that refreshes the palate throughout an extremely long finish.
This wine pairs beautifully with a wide variety of appetizers and tapas ranging from toasted almonds and marinated olives to fried calamari or seared scallops. Enjoy it with smoked fish, Brie or aged Gouda cheese, steamed mussels, barbecue pork and chicken. Seasoning affinities include citrus peel and tarragon.
67% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay
Critical Acclaim
Connoisseurs' Guide - "67% Pinot Noir; 33% Chardonnay. Intriguing perfumes of creme brulee, Meyer lemon, hints of cherry, creamy yeast and a subtle whiff of vanilla lead to frothy bubbles and flavors that are both minerally and just a touch sweeter than expected. It is fairly long at the end, and its richness carries it into a comfortable finish. It would be an easy wine to like as a stand-alone aperitif, yet it will also be at home with light entrees."
Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards
Gloria Ferrer is the offspring of a powerful parent: Freixenet of Spain, the world's largest producer of sparkling wine. Drawn to the promise of California, Freixenet established a California winery, naming it after the wife of Freixenet's president. The winery in Carneros is one of the best stops in all of Wine Country. Visit the aging caves carved in the hillside and enjoy the sun-splashed deck while noshing on roasted almonds and sipping bubbly. Wines produced are Blanc de Noir, Brut, Brut Rose, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Rose. View all Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards Wines About Carneros
View a map of Carneros wineriesTechnically a part of Napa Valley, the Carneros region straddles both Sonoma & Napa counties. It's the Napa region closest to the San Francisco peninsula and the San Pablo Bay, which is instrumental in controlling the climate of the area. The winds from the San Pablo bay create a cool weather pattern ideal for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Notable Facts
Both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Carneros are delicate, yet complex, with firm structure and acidity. And while the pair are the most popular varieties of the region, some winemakers have branched out, particularly with Syrah. The cool climate Syrah of Carneros is well structured and stylistically similar to Syrah from the Northern Rhone, though often fuller-bodied.About California
It's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.
Customer Reviews

Most wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

HSBC Holdings broke New York foreclosure law and put homeowners at greater risk of losing their homes, according to New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who said he is suing the bank today.
A state investigation found that HSBC has left homeowners languishing in foreclosure by failing to meet requirements for giving them an opportunity to negotiate loan modifications, according to Schneiderman's office.
"Companies like HSBC are brazenly ignoring state law, leaving homeowners across New York stuck in a legal limbo where they can't even get the legally required settlement conference that could help them keep their homes," the attorney general said in a statement.
The lawsuit comes as state attorneys general nationwide have targeted banks over foreclosure practices, last year reaching a $25 billion settlement with five mortgage servicers, including Bank of America Corp. and Wells Fargo & Co. HSBC wasn't part of that settlement.
Schneiderman said in May that he was prepared to sue Bank of America and Wells Fargo for allegedly violating terms of the nationwide settlement, which set requirements for servicing mortgages and provided monetary relief for homeowners. Schneiderman said the lenders have failed to comply with standards for processing applications from homeowners for loan modifications.
The HSBC case, to be filed in state court in Buffalo, stems from a New York law pertaining to foreclosures and court- supervised settlement conferences in which homeowners can try to negotiate alternatives to foreclosure such as a loan modification that lowers their monthly payments.
Diane Soucy Bergan, a spokeswoman for London-based HSBC, declined to comment on the matter.
Lenders and servicers who sue to foreclose in New York must file paperwork that triggers a requirement that a settlement conference be held within 60 days.
The state found that HSBC failed to file the required paperwork in hundreds of foreclosure cases in New York, in some cases putting off the document filing for more than two years. HSBC continued to charge interest and fees, increasing the amounts owed by homeowners. Those charges reduce the likelihood a person will qualify for a loan modification because their principal balance has increased, according to the state.
The attorney general will seek to recover restitution and damages for homeowners and force HSBC to file the required papers in pending foreclosure actions and future cases.

The Key That Fits the Lock, Part Thirteen
Before I leave Father Abraham, I'd like to dwell upon what anyone familiar with heroic literature would consider the oddest feature of his story.
Who is Abraham?
Who is Abraham not?
- He's not Romulus, legendary founder of a city, murderer of his twin brother, and abductor of the Sabine women.
- He's not Odysseus the man of many wiles, sacking the first available port city on his way home from Troy, slaying the men and taking the women as prizes.
- He's not Achilles, nursing his wounded pride in his tent, and spitefully praying that the enemy would mow down his fellow Greeks.
- He is not Daedalus the inventor, or Archimedes, boasting that with the right point and a lever long enough, he could move the earth.
- He is not the sage Solon, traveling as a renowned tourist from Persia to Egypt.
- He is not Socrates.
- He is not the Norse king Olav Tryggveson, around whose exploits the sagas paint a corona of half-pagan glory. His only battle is to rescue his nephew. Otherwise, his typical behavior towards kings and their retinue is to avoid them.
Aside from his great faith, Abraham is exceptional for being unexceptional. There are hundreds of men in Greek and Roman history, massive egotists with a flair for getting big things done, who cut a more "interesting" figure: Pisistratus the benevolent tyrant, Themistocles the naval hero and traitor of Athens, Camillus the ruthless savior of republican Rome, Cicero who wrote truly awful poetry in praise of his favorite topic, himself.
Abraham is like none of them. In this regard, too, he stands as "the Father of Many."
Consider the men in early Hebrew history who most resemble the war-heroes of other cultures: the Judges. They are, by comparison with a legendary Theseus or an all-too-real Julius Caesar, a ragtag lot.
Gideon is at first a Baal-worshipper, who dares to put God to the test, and who wins his most important battle only after God made him send almost all his army home. Samson has a keen taste for bad women. Jephthah seems never to have understood that the Lord is not a pagan god. Barak didn't want to fight unless Deborah went with him, and though he won the battle, the enemy king Sisera was slain when a Hebrew woman, knocked a nail into his head while he slept.
The theme runs through all of Scripture: "Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help." (Ps. 146:3) "Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance." (Is. 40:15) "Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans." (Is. 47:1) "God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty." (1 Cor. 1:27)
The Temple itself, when the people have turned their hearts from God, is not spared the fate of human works admired for their (and our) greatness. So Jeremiah warns of its destruction: "Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord." (Jer. 7:4) And Jesus, when his disciples want to enjoy the sights of Jerusalem, says, "Seest thou these great buildings? There shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down." (Mk. 13:2)
True divinity, Chesterton said, lies not so much in comprehending the biggest things, but rather in being comprehended by the smallest things. |
But the weak things of the world, the unregarded — those are the ones the Lord most uses. For when we know we are weak and sinful, then we may be most open to the might of God. The Pharisee who enjoyed his moral greatness did not leave the synagogue justified; but the publican who said, "God be merciful to me a sinner," did. (Lk. 18:13) "When I am weak, then am I strong," says Saint Paul, glorying in his infirmities, "that the power of Christ may rest upon me." (2 Cor.; 12:9-10). "Be clothed with humility," says the saint who denied Christ three times, "for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble." (2 Pt. 5:6)
Yet we shouldn't consider this choice of the weak to be a divine caprice. It manifests a law of being that power-worshippers miss. Call it the Law of the Great Infinitesimal. So Gustave Thibon observes: "Any order that transcends another can insert itself into that other only under a form that is infinitely small." (emphasis mine)
Consider the first rational thought in the history of the universe. It is something, it is nothing; it is known but not seen; it passes in the twinkle of an eye, and yet it is a more momentous thing, infinitely greater, than all the galaxies.
So also the action of grace. One genuine movement of the heart toward God — that is a new thing in the world, invisibly small, and of greater import than all of the tedious greatness of history.
True divinity, Chesterton said, lies not so much in comprehending the biggest things, but rather in being comprehended by the smallest things. Recall the still small voice that Elijah heard. Recall the mustard seed. Think of the babe in the manger, or the womb of Mary, when she said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord."
Now I do not intend to set limits to God's actions. He works mighty deeds. Jesus told the disciples of John to report to their master that "the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up." (Mt. 11:5) Mighty deeds, no doubt! But Jesus saves the "smallest" for last: "The poor have the gospel preached to them."
Abraham was, we may say, small enough to be filled with infinity. The world does not understand that lesson, and never will.

I'm heading to Pakistan this thursday, and i am in need of B/W film. I would be happy to be able to buy it in Lahore, and thus avoid the airport check-ins with un-exposed film but i'm not sure if i can do it, so i'd rather not risk it. I tried for the last days to find it here, in Dubai, but it looks like there is an acute shortage of professional material over here (none of my usual, normal places who used to sell BW normally a few weeks ago can help me; they all smile an direct me to their kodak gold 400 3in1 products). Anybody can advise me in such a short notice about a good place to buy BW film in either Lahore or Dubai?

More Birthdays!
Happy birthday to Lloyd Price: "Stagger Lee," "Lawdy Miss Clawdy," "Personality," and plenty more. Wonderful stuff.
And a happy birthday, too, to Mickey Gilley. He's more than just Jerry Lee's cousin and the one-time owner of Gilley's. He cut a few pretty good records, too: "Don't the Girls all get Prettier at Closing Time," "Roomful of Roses," "I Overlooked an Orchid." He even did a version of "Lawdy Miss Clawdy."

Wichita State's CEDBR updates 2010 Wichita and Kansas forecasts
The Center for Economic Development and Business Research at Wichita State University has updated its 2010 employment forecast for the Wichita MSA. According to the forecast, Wichita is expected to incur a decrease in total nonfarm employment of 0.5 percent, or more than 1,650 jobs, in 2010, after a decrease of 2.3 percent in 2009.
Wichita's economic situation is confirmed by the WSU Current Conditions Index, which tends to mirror the current Wichita economy.
The Current Index has maintained a steady decline during the past year. From its peak in October 2007, the index declined 24.6 percent through third quarter 2009.
An encouraging development is a 13.9 percent decline in the number of initial unemployment claims in Kansas from second to third quarter.
There are also positive signs in regard to the aircraft industry. The national inflation-adjusted value of new orders for aircraft and parts increased 5.2 percent from second to third quarter, and the aerospace stock index increased 9 percent.
In summary, national conditions show increased consumer confidence, overall economic growth and an increase in home sales. Unfortunately, this growth is not yet apparent in labor markets.
Although the picture is less bleak, the overall economic conditions in Wichita will remain negative through the middle of 2010, with mild growth expected in the second half of the year.
To see a chart of Wichita employment by industry, go to http://www.wichita.edu/j/?360.
Kansas forecast
As for the entire state, Kansas is expected to decrease jobs by 0.5 percent, or nearly 6,450 jobs in 2010, after a decrease of 3.2 percent in 2009.
Signs of economic weakness continue to affect the state. The aircraft industry has experienced significant losses, with more than 12,000 employee layoffs announced in the Wichita MSA between October 2008 and November 2009, but the pace has slowed.
In addition to decreases in employment, the number of outbound air passengers decreased 8.7 percent at Wichita's Mid-Continent Airport while declining 10.9 percent at Kansas City's International Airport for the 12 months ending October 2008 compared to the 12 months ending October 2009.
Economic strengths have begun to emerge.
The number of people unemployed in Kansas declined by more than 23,000 individuals from the peak of more than 120,000 in July, to less than 98,000 in October. Creighton University's October leading economic indicator for Kansas finally reached 50, pointing toward growth in the near future.
The indicators, when taken together, point to a slower pace of decline as reflected in the Kansas forecast for the remainder of 2009, with a sluggish rebound beginning in the second quarter of 2010.

This Power Y showed up in a product alert email. The color code is WHTAGTS which I think stands for White Ash Gray Tiny Stripe and will be an upcoming color.
More photos of the newest Scubas. Has anyone seen the MUPS Scubas in stores in Southern California? The product alerts that I've gotten so far have shown they've received the Luluacquard onces but not the striped ones. I'm hoping the stripes show up on line tomorrow.
Another photo of the microstripe Inner Awareness Tank. I guess it is a longer tank after all. I think I like this and Power Purple one best. It seems to be flattering on a lot of shapes.

Describe how food production affects technological, economic, political, and social development in Guns, Germs, and Steel.
1 Answer | Add Yours
Food production affects these sorts of development in that it makes all of them possible. The sooner there is food production, the sooner the society can start to develop in the ways that are mentioned.
When food production begins, the population density of the society increases. This is because societies that produce foods can get more of it than societies that must get food through hunting and gathering. When societies have more food, they can support larger populations. When they have larger populations, they can have people who do all sorts of non-food related activities. These people can cause the various sorts of development that you mention here.
There can be people who are able to create technology because they do not have to obtain food for themselves. There are people who can create art. There are people who can be political leaders. All of these things are possible because the people do not need to get their own food. In this way, food production leads to greater population density which, in turn, leads to development of the sorts that you mention in this question.

two electrodes on the fingers or palm (skin resistance measurements can give misleading indications of magnitudes of response). Skin conductance responses can be elicited by so many stimuli that it is difficult to isolate specific psychological antecedents. Respiration is easily brought under voluntary control, so it is unlikely by itself to be a robust indicator of any psychological state an examinee is trying to conceal. Variations in respiration can produce changes in heart rate and electrodermal activity. Therefore, respiration needs to be monitored to determine whether cardiovascular and electrodermal responses to relevant and comparison questions are artifacts of other changes. (Appendix D provides more detail about current knowledge of cardiovascular, electrodermal, and respiratory response systems.)
The physiological responses measured by the polygraph do not all reflect a single underlying process such as arousal. Similarly, arousing stimuli do not produce consistent responses across these physiological indicators or across individuals. This knowledge implies that there is considerable lack of correspondence between the physiological data the polygraph provides and the underlying constructs that polygraph examiners believe them to measure. On theoretical grounds, it is therefore probable that any standard transformation of polygraph outputs (that is, scoring method) will correspond imperfectly with an underlying psychological state such as arousal and that the degree of correspondence will vary considerably across individuals. Little is known from basic physiological research about whether there are certain types of individuals for whom detection of arousal from polygraph measures is likely to be especially accurate—or especially inaccurate.
Polygraph theories assume that differences in physiological responses are closely correlated with psychological differences between examinees' responses to relevant and comparison questions on the polygraph test. This assumption will be less plausible to the extent that a polygraph testing procedure gives an examiner discretion in selecting the relevant and comparison questions for each examinee. It is reasonable to expect that if a polygraph test procedure gives examiners more latitude in this respect, the results are likely to be less reliable across examiners, and more susceptible to examiner expectancies and influences in the examiner-examinee interaction.
Given the imperfect correspondence that can be expected between polygraph test results and the underlying state the test is intended to measure, inferences from polygraph tests confront both logical and empirical issues.
